The Art of Sight

The picture
Painted by an artist,
That pleased my eyes,
Took me
To the place,
Where the artist paints
But, I saw the God, there.
The music
Harmonized by a musician,
That entertained my soul,
Took me
To the place,
Where the musician composes
But, I saw the God, there.
The ballet
Performed by a dancer,
That energized my life,
Took me
To the place,
Where the dancer dances
But, I saw the God, there.
The poetry,
Crafted by a poet,
That enlightened my heart,
Took me
To the place,
Where the poet writes
But, I saw the God, there.
But I lost myself,
As I saw the God,
The God of his own world,
And a man of Heaven,
Who has no eyes,
But has only the mind.

Grateful to you for sharing your experience as you have read the poem and for your kindness to appreciate the poem with your interpretive thoughts and encouraging words. I will definitely put my efforts to write better poems and post here. Thank you.

This took me to a place of deep contemplation. Love the repetitive form which emphasises the God permeates all existence, especially the creative/expressive forces. I look forward to reading more of your well-honed verses as much of what I have read so far on this site is of a very amateurish standard and full of glaring grammatical and spelling errors.
